What's the deal on the MOEN SHAKY JIMI vibe?
Looking for a cheap Uni-Vibe style modulation. Has anyone tried this? One of the few clips I've found on YouTube sounds very good; the modulation itself seem to be so strong that I even thought there was a Wah pedal engaged (the guy swears there wasn't). Thanks!

Had to sell my Mojo Vibe. Does anyone have decent clips of the Moen Shaky Jimi other than the most commons?

I bought a Moen Shakey Jimi and had it for about a year. I started with the Fulltone pedal vibe, didn't like it at all. I found it way to subtle with limited ability to become noticable in any band situation....it was a lot of coin too. A friend raved about his Shakey Jimi, it's cheap and it actually works pretty good. I didn't use it often. Really not that bad at all.....the problem was it sucked a bit of tone. Very noticable when "on" and I hate that in a pedal. Sold it and got a LovePedal vibe. So far it's been my favorite.

how about a better/ more inexpensive solution to a vibe and get a MXR Phase 45 for 100 bucks off ebay? The shaky jimi is not even a vibe its basically a vibrato.

It is not a vibrato, it is a true vibe pedal. It has a lamp and photocells like a univibe.

I have one and like it very much, perhaps a bit more than the CC vibe.
